In some embodiments, the four side panels 106 a, 106 b, 106 c, 106 d are identical in shape. In some embodiments, each of the side panels 106 a, 106 b, 106 c, 106 d is configured to engage with both the base panel 102 and the top panel 104.

In some embodiments, the base panel 102 includes a first surface 108 and an opposing second surface 109, as depicted in FIGS. 2 and 6. When the display case 100 is fully constructed, the first surface 108 faces an interior of the display case 100. The first surface 108, in some embodiments, includes a first channel 110 a parallel to a first peripheral edge 112 a thereof, a second channel 110 b parallel to a second peripheral edge 112 b thereof, a third channel 110 c parallel to a third peripheral edge 112 c thereof and a fourth channel 110 d parallel to a fourth peripheral edge 112 d thereof. Each of the channels 110 a, 110 b, 110 c, 110 d is configured to receive a peripheral edge of one of the four side panels 106 a, 106 b, 106 c, 106 d to form a dado joint, as will be described in further detail below.

In some embodiments, the top panel 104 includes three slits 114 parallel to each peripheral edge 116, as depicted in FIG. 3. Each of the slits 114 are configured to receive a tab of one of the four side panels 106 a, 106 b, 106 c, 106 d, as will be described in further detail below.

In some embodiments, each of the four side panels 106 a, 106 b, 106 c, 106 d includes a first peripheral edge 118 a, a second peripheral edge 118 b, a third peripheral edge 118 c and a fourth peripheral edge 118 d, as depicted in FIG. 4. In some embodiments, the second peripheral edge 118 b is opposite the first peripheral edge 118 a. In some embodiments, the third peripheral edge 118 c is adjacent to both the first peripheral edge 118 a and the second peripheral edge 118 b, and opposite the fourth peripheral edge 118 d.

In some embodiments, the first peripheral edge 118 a of each of the four side panels 106 a, 106 b, 106 c, 106 d includes two tabs 120 and three cutouts 122. In some embodiments, the second peripheral edge 118 b of each of the four side panels 106 a, 106 b, 106 c, 106 d includes three tabs 124 and two cutouts 126. The third peripheral edge 118 c of each of the four side panels 106 a, 106 b, 106 c, 106 d includes three tabs 128, in some embodiments.
